D3dx9_43.dll missing

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Hey there everyone!! This is my first time using RetroArch and I’m a little frustrated. I’ve downloaded and tried almost every version in the stable section of the site, and all of them tell me that “d3dx9_43.dll is missing” and to reinstall the program. Well, there is no reinstalling the program because the instructions just say to unzip and launch. SO, I started my exploration of the other versions to see if any of them would have this mysterious d3dx9_43 and apparently they’re all holding out.

Any ideas out there???

I’ve tried this with my Windows 10 machine, and it still doesn’t work. Same error.

That link apparently only works with Win 98, 2000, and the Server 2003 family.

I appreciate the help. However, I’ve already run an install of DirectX, and the dll issue continues.

Did you actually run the DXSETUP.exe from Radius’ link?

I attempted to, from my Windows 10 system. It throws an error that it only works on Win 98, ME, 2000, Server 2003, etc…

From this link it gives a directx_Jun2010_redist.exe. Run that, choose where to extract the files, then there will be a DXSETUP.exe in the place you extracted. Run that.

My mistake. I ran one that was posted and removed. Running this one now.

That one worked! Thanks for the help!

Hello friends! I’m new here, but I need to reopen this topic because in my case the problem persists. I downloaded the file dxwebsetup.exe and the other one with 98mb. The two install to a certain extent and then have an error. The installer then looks at dxerror.log and also directx.log. Directx.log does not show anything abnormal. But the other:

What can this be?
